What are the predictions of technology fortune tellers?
/ part One /
The concept of fortune-tellers and astrology may not agree with the concept of science and technology in an article together, but based on the guarantee of science and logic, technology fortune-tellers are considered more trustworthy than others, because the current path of the changing and accelerating digital age has become one of the topics that most raises expectations and what humans will be like in the future. Especially since modern technical development has overcome any evolutionary model in the history of the Earth. Within a hundred years, many scientists consider that the development of humans is equivalent to their development during the past thousands of years of their existence on Earth. Therefore, the question about the technical future of humans is an important topic, given that technological development It will continue with us to change our lives as it did in the last century. What technologies will humans use during the next ten years?
First: Artificial intelligence will be the decision maker in human lives
It is no longer strange to replace or use humans by robotsartificial intelligenceBut the new news will be the use of artificial intelligence robots as advisors and assistants alongside humans, as the computer or robot will have the ability to communicate more effectively, make decisions, and carry out the planning and perception process in a way that may compete with humans in logic and speed, on a large scale and at a low cost.
This expectation is inferred due to the continuous updating of the computer’s capabilities until it reaches the advanced level of passing the Turing Test, which is a test that aims to determine the computer’s ability to convince the questioner that he is actually human. The test is done as follows:
A human asks several questions about a specific topic to a computer on the one hand and to a human on the other hand, and each of them answers the human who asks his questions, and at the end of the interrogation, the questioner determines the degree of persuasiveness of each of them and determines whether he is a human or a computer, and this is how it will happen in the end. Computers will continue to develop until they become similar and identical to the human brain, and may even compete with it, as some expect, given the speed of computers in analysis, research, and data collection.
Second: Virtual reality equipment will become mainstream
This is due to the continuous upgrades of headsets and virtual reality glasses to become with amazing resolution. For example, most virtual reality screens will have four times the resolution of their current screens, which means there will be no visual distortions of virtual reality, so that the experience becomes enjoyable, real and closer to reality.
Third: The brain and the computer are one entity
Although the idea of communication between the brain and the computer directly, without the need to use our hands or computer equipment, may seem far-fetched currently, it is a technology for which the way has been paved, and it is symbolized by BCI, meaning / Brain-Computer Interface/, and it is called in Arabic / Brain-computer interface / Which will make virtual reality a place for interaction in a more realistic way, which will enable a person to issue commands to any electronic device using his brain activity or just thinking about it. This technology has actually contributed to facilitating the lives of people who are unable to move, and it will also make video games more enjoyable through... Reading the interaction of players, in addition to the possibility of using this technology in marketing to know customers’ opinions, which may not be expressed explicitly and clearly, by reading the brain’s response to advertising campaigns.
Fourth: The quantum computer will change the world starting in 2030 AD
Despite its high price, it is... Quantum computers On its way to becoming accessible to everyone, the quantum computer differs from the classical computer in that it uses quantum units (qubits), while the traditional computer uses known units (bits), which makes quantum computers fantastically superior to regular computers, due to the physical properties of the quantum computer. To dramatically increase the speed of operations, thousands of times superior to the best ordinary computers.
Thus, IBM and GOOGLE will be able to build a quantum computer with a capacity of one million qubits. This extraordinary computer cannot be imagined by the human brain with its superior ability to analyze and run algorithms, as it will be able to perform calculations within one second, compared to the best classical computer taking 9000 thousand years. To implement it, which will bring about a revolution in machine and robotic learning, improve artificial intelligence, and amazing progress for science in medicine, space, chemistry and physics down to the subatomic level, and upgrade the concept of cryptography, financial models and cybersecurity in all its fields, and even medicines, weather forecasting and countless fields will be implemented. Promoting it to a new level that humanity has not yet known. In short, a new form of the world will emerge with the presence of quantum computers.
Fifth: The emergence of high-speed quantum internet and encryption
To complement quantum computers, this technology will move to the Internet, as scientists expect that we will see the first national model of the quantum Internet in the United States of America by 2030 AD. In addition to the possibility of transferring huge data via it in a short time over long distances, this Internet will be used mainly to send data that cannot be accessed. It can be hacked or intercepted as in the traditional Internet, as the quantum Internet works in the process of exchanging data and information on quantum signals instead of radio waves as in the current Internet, in the form of qubits, only through multiple physically separate quantum computers, and also only through quantum channels. .
The fundamental difference here lies in the classical Internet in which data is transmitted via optical fibers and encrypted digital bits. Although light appears faster, it runs into a major problem, which is the loss of the optical signal at the end of the path, and this is what puts an end to the classical digital communications technology. Quantum transfer is characterized by preserving information properly without losing it while exchanging it over long distances, in addition to the element of security, as the data will be destroyed while sending or receiving it, when any interception or hacking process is discovered during the exchange of data, in addition to cutting off communication between the two parties.
As for quantum mechanics scientists, many of them expect that the quantum Internet will be side by side with the classical Internet that we use today, and we will not be able, in the near future at least, to use the quantum Internet to conduct traditional browsing and messaging. Its importance will be in the ability for humans to communicate via... Very long distances and safely, and the quantum Internet will have a new form of applications for its use, which will significantly change the form of the current Internet in the distant future.
Sixth: We will start using a 3D human organs printer
Yes, dear reader, this is a reality that humans will witness in the coming decades. Starting in the year 2030 AD, 3D printing will be used to build living biological systems. This printer will initially be able to build and manufacture simple components across multiple layers of cells, such as blood vessels and tissues, and place them exactly. In the desired place with extreme microscopic precision, then relatively simple organs will be printed, until the majority, if not all, of human organs will be successfully printed by the coming decades.
Seventh: Implanting memory implants in the brain
Scientists expect that by the 1930s to 1940s, chips and implants implanted in the brain will be able to replace people with the process of memorizing and learning. More importantly, this technology will enable people with amnesia to retrieve their lost memories and repair damage resulting from Alzheimer’s disease, strokes, or even victims of Alzheimer’s disease. Injuries or accidents.
This is thanks to the ability of these small devices implanted in the brain to simulate electrochemical signals, which are involved in integrating information from short-term memory into long-term memory.
Eighth: Launching SpaceX's first human mission to Mars
By the year 2024 AD, the world will witness the beginnings of the realization of the dream of Tesla and its CEO, Elon Musk, and the dream of many people to conquer Mars, as SpaceX astronauts will launch towards Mars, and they are expected to reach the Red Planet in the year 2025 AD, on board the SpaceX Starship vehicle using a rocket. Super Heavy / To Get There.
The astronauts will take robots with them, to perform many activities and manufacture essential materials and parts for the flight crew on Mars, and they will also produce fuel for methane-based rockets for the return trip to Earth.
Ninth: Upgrading human genes through artificial selection
Man will control his evolution this time, away from the process of natural selection that life on Earth has always witnessed, and by 2025 AD, DNA testing processes will become less expensive and more rapid, which will enable humans to arrange and sequence human genes for more than a billion people, which represents one-eighth of the Earth’s population. Their huge genetic information and data will be collected, which will exceed the exabyte scale, which is much larger than the entire YouTube content.
This genetic data will be a tool to identify multiple disorders linked to specific genes, and in a relatively easy way using artificial intelligence. The first goal will be to identify and exclude the genes responsible for cognitive disorders and lack of intelligence, especially since IQ is linked to genes by 75% in an individual, and thus identifying genes and exploiting them scientifically. Medically, it could play a major role in producing humans with high intelligence levels in the coming decades.
Tenth: Faster Internet 100 Once from 5G
By 2030 AD we will see a network 6GWhile some experts estimate it will reach hundreds of times in the coming decades, which is equivalent to a speed of 1 terabyte per second, with which you can download 142 hours of Netflix movies in just one second.
It will enable high Internet speeds starting from 6G By supporting cyberspace for human thought and production in its various fields, and also improving brain-computer technology to communicate most effectively between the brain and the computer directly, and thus upgrading the virtual reality experience for humans, whether for use in entertainment, marketing, etc.
The amazing speeds of the Internet will enable the Internet of Things to become a highly advanced and effective technology in the future, to improve many areas. For example, humanity will make progress in the field of navigation, space, agriculture, scientific experiments, and many others, which will contribute to the development of humans greatly.
The term indicates The Internet of things To a system of devices interconnected with each other to exchange data and information, as this technology allows adding a tracking device to an inert object such as vehicles, machines, electronic systems for factories, tracking devices for living organisms, lighting systems, building security, and many others, using built-in sensors to connect them to a communication network in order to Transfer the required data directly, without the need for interaction between a human and a computer. Thus, the amazing speeds of the Internet and data transfer within communication networks will raise the level of many areas of service to humans.
Here, the first part of future technology predictions ends. Although we find our digital age accelerating and greatly advanced, in the coming years we will witness new terms such as the traditional computer, the traditional Internet, and many technologies that will become traditional. We will realize in the future that The advanced devices of our present day will be the alphabets in the language of the coming technological age. Fortunately, we live in a time when humans live longer compared to their predecessors, and in a time in which technology and scientific inventions advance as the second hand in our watches advances.
